Where & When....

Ok, trying hard to catch up on these posts but I keep ending up in places without computers.... it
s great!

Anyway, just as a bit of a round up...

To finish up my Vietnam trip I ended up in Hanoi then Alex (the Italian) and I toddled off on a 2 day bike tour in the Northern hills. Left on the 15th for Borneo. This was perhaps the best scenery I have ever seen in my life and not a single other tourist was seen on the entire trip... bliss!

From Vietnam I flew into KL and then after a 6 hour stop-over I landed in Malaysian, Borneo or now known as Ade's little paradise! I have been camping and trekking in the jungle (www.uncletans.com) where I came feet from wild pythons, hornbills, 2m long crocodiles and orang utans and have just spent the last few days diving off a tiny island in the south east. To date this has to be the highlight of my trip and I'm remembering what it is like to get away from it all and into the wild.... .I am the missing link!

Anyway by some quirk of coincidence after chatting to someone at an orang utan conservation centre I found out there is a research centre in Borneo that has some strong links with Swansea University which is where I studied all those years ago. Well I thought it would be rude not to pop in, especially as an ex swansea student heads some of the research up here.... I'm on my way there as we speak. Who knows where this could lead!!!
